Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler - Frederick William I and John II 1597-1601 from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique double portrait of both Frederick William I and John II on the obverse side, which was a common practice in coinage during that time period. This coin was also minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving and the various German states were becoming more independent.
